Rithwik Gupta attends Irvington High School in the USA. He has achieved notable results in mathematics and science.
For example, Rithwik earned the highest score at his school in the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME). He was among approximately 5,000 students nationwide to achieve this distinction. Additionally, he earned a place on the AMC 10 Honor Roll. This recognition placed him among the top 5% of scorers.
Leadership and Community Service
Rithwik serves as captain of his FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team. Under his leadership, the team qualified for the Regional Championships in 2020 and 2022.
Beyond robotics, Rithwik has dedicated time to mentoring students. He supported more than 100 underprivileged and disabled students locally. He also mentored 300 students internationally, including learners in Israel, Kazakhstan, and Australia.
Innovation and Computing
Rithwik’s innovative work earned second place at the Alameda County Engineering Fair. There, he presented an app with a provisional patent. The app helps teachers record attendance and monitor student engagement during distance learning.
Furthermore, Rithwik achieved success in the Gold Division of the USA Computing Olympiad (USACO). This accomplishment demonstrates his knowledge of advanced algorithms and data structures.
Research Accepted at the American Astronomical Society
Rithwik’s research paper, “A Classifier-Based Approach to Multi-Class Anomaly Detection for Astronomical Transients,” was accepted at the 243rd Meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Louisiana.
The AAS plays an important role in the global astronomical community. Therefore, this acceptance marks a significant milestone in Rithwik’s academic journey.
Congratulations to Rithwik on this remarkable achievement!
